Did You Know? Exploring Apache Junction's Roots! Ever wondered how Apache Junction got its name? 🤔 It's rooted in history! The city takes its name from the Apache Trail, named after the Apache tribe that used this route to access the Superstition Mountains. 🛣️ Constructed in 1903, the Apache Trail served as a supply route from Mesa to the then-under-construction Roosevelt Dam. Today, this scenic 40-mile road offers breathtaking views of mountains, saguaro forests, and stunning lakes. 🔥 A 18-mile paved route from Apache Junction to Tortilla Flat and a dirt road for several miles further is open to vehicles.
